Workshop 2nd Announcement: Structuring Combinatorial Problems with Symmetry

Dear colleagues,

we are happy to announce the workshop

Structuring Combinatorial Problems with Symmetry 
<http://structuring-combinatorial-problems-with-symmetry-26.tobiasmetzlaff.com/>

to take place at

*Chemnitz University of Technology *in *Germany *from *24–26 **June** 2026*.

The workshop focuses on the systematic and algorithmic use of symmetry 
as well as group-theoretic and optimization-based methods in the study 
of combinatorial and geometric problems. We bring together researchers 
working in discrete mathematics, polynomial optimization, applied real 
algebraic geometry as well as group and representation theory where 
symmetry plays a structural or algorithmic role. The goal is to foster 
exchange between intertwining perspectives and to stimulate further 
collaboration in this active area.

Lectures will be given by:

  * Daniel Brosch <https://www.danielbrosch.com/> (Klagenfurt)
  * Nidhi Kaihnsa <https://sites.google.com/view/kaihnsa/about> (Copenhagen)
  * Nando Leijenhorst <https://nanleij.github.io/> (Toulouse)
